The Lot prefecture is organizing a civil security exercise this Wednesday, November 27 in Biars-sur-Cère, on the Séveso SNCF EIV Quercy-Corrèze site. Objective: test the site's specific intervention plan (PPI). “In this context, the Fr-Alert system, as well as the warning sirens of Biars-sur-Cère, Bretenoux and Girac will be activated“, explains the Lot Prefecture.
“The Fr-Alert system is an alert and information tool which allows anyone with a mobile phone to be warned in real time of the danger existing nearby and to inform them of the behaviors to adopt to protect themselves.“, underlines the press release. Consequently, during this exercise, people in the neighboring municipalities of Biars-sur-Cère, Bretenoux and Girac, in particular Gagnac-sur-Cère, Glanes, Cornac, Saint-Michel-Loubéjou, Prudhomat, Tauriac and Puybrun, including those in the Corrèze department (Liourdres and Astaillac), are also likely to receive the exercise alert message.
The message sent to cell phones will make it clear that this is an exercise and that no action is expected.
